realEstate1 says it is planning to continue to fight for the right to use the term “real estate” as part of its trademark, reporting that mediation with realestate.com.au has broken down.
The two portals went into mediation earlier this year after realestate.com.au launched legal action, claiming that it was moving to protect its brand.
“It is disappointing that the REA Group is continuing with their legal action against realEstate1,” says Geoff Luff, the portal’s managing director. “However, we look forward to a favorable outcome.”
realEstate1 says a court date has not yet been set. realestate.com.au did not respond to a request for comment.
